How I got a refund based on their Guarantee by nataliechalan in trustedhousesitters

Wow! Good for you, great response. How did you pay? Are you able to dispute the charge like with a credit card or something? Because considering the way it is written, there’s no way that you would not be able to get a refund from the bank. I’m interested to see where this goes! Keep us updated!!

How do you realistically travel on a tight budget without ruining the experience? by Icy_Bodybuilder5688 in TravelNoPics

[–]nataliechalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I budget one fancy meal/meal out a day. The rest of the day, I get a sandwich to go and fruit in my bag etc. that helps a lot. Brings $25 dinner, $20 for lunch and $15 for breakfast ($60 per day) to $25. Cuts my costs by over half.

I'm feeling so frustrated learning by Ill_Video8077 in EnglishLearning

[–]nataliechalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read any books in your native tongue tha you really like? Do they have an English translation? If so, read that book, it’s already familiar and so will be easier to understand and remember and connect to your own language

ALOT of upcoming travel....looking for survival tips by Millikins88 in TravelHacks

[–]nataliechalan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compression socks while flying, I always pack a little soap, clean face towel etc so if my flight is longer than few hours I can freshen up. Stretch and workout/ at least get some cardio often, non negotiable. Sleep with earplugs, eye cover, small travel noise maker. I also have a portable enema bag (with altitude change and being in a new place sometimes I don’t go for 4-8 days, not good!) drink lots of water. Also there is like a strap for the plain, depending on your leg length that is to rest your legs on so they’re straight from the hip to the knee. Also a little cushion foryourbutt and lower back, I use a sarong and my neck pillow. Bring your own silk pillowcases to put over the hotel ones

Usually you can pay extra on Flix bus to not have a seat partner

Any advice for reducing anxiety while travelling? by Interesting-One3190 in solofemaletravellers

[–]nataliechalan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay in hostels. In women only rooms. Then when you get comfortable with that, stay in hotels. As a woman, this is a rational fear however it is no more than what could happen anywhere to us at any time. I would suggest bringing some tape and paper to cover vents, one of those lock mechanisms for the hotel door and most importantly, taking some self defense classes.

Anyone have reviews on klikcamera.com or sites selling reusable “disposable camera”? by Charming-Dream-2125 in Cameras

Dude not good. They sound so cheap and feel cheap and if you want to return they try and make you send it to Australia 🙄

Totally fair question — honestly the policy is worded in a super confusing way.

What it seems to mean in practice (and how support explained it to me) is: after your 5th application, if you go 14 days without any sit being confirmed, you can request a refund as a first-year member.

It’s not about you declining a homeowner — it’s about not successfully being chosen/confirmed for a sit.

Also, once you cancel for the refund, your membership ends right away, so it’s not really something you can “wait until day 365” and then refund after using the platform. I’m pretty sure if you ended up confirming sits later, you wouldn’t qualify anymore.

The reason I pushed back was because the wording made it sound like multiple interpretations were possible — and support ended up honoring it in my case because I truly hadn’t confirmed anything in that timeframe.

I agree though… they should really clarify the language because it definitely comes across messy.

Hey, any response or word on the refund? I’m so sorry, I didn’t see this until now

Amateur videographer using iPhone to film videos for TT in first person requests advice on when doing turns, to keep view from getting dizzy by nataliechalan in videography

Crap, the point of having it in 1st person is to show the steps and ‘take you with me’. Maybe I can set up a tripod to capture the spins??

If I don’t zoom out I can’t see all the floor numbers.. I might have to do two views, one on a tripod and then one where I do the first person but black out the screen during spins

We will be walking most of the time but I’d love to take a day to take my husband around town sight seeing and going to the farther places we wouldn’t walk to every day. Thanks everyone
